I think Athens is just like your hometown (except the Chinese food is better and it's much more temperate, weather-wise) and we have a very nice arthouse cinema that could have accommodated <b>Casablanca</b> fans. To hear that there were no showings in Iowa (sister Debbie's neck of the swamp) or Nebraska (Brother Kelso) is mind-boggling.<br /><br />The original title for this post was going to be "But the others wait in Casablanca... and wait... and wait... and wait."
